Event sounds (e.g., chimes, beeps, buzzes) notify you of an occurrence in Microsoft Windows. For example, when you press an invalid key in a program, connect a new device to your computer, or when an error occurs.

You can pop the top plate off with a knife and stick a little piece of electrical tape on top of the buzzer (black cylinder with little hole on top) on the circuit board at the rear of the fryer. No screws to take out.

The settings for these event sounds are controlled through the Sound Properties section of the Control Panel. To adjust the sound settings for these notifications, follow the steps below.

Here’s a question we got from Dorothy:

Many thanks for the posts related to Microsoft Teams, those have been helpful to help me get started as my workplace transitions from Zoom and Skype to Microsoft Teams. Here’s a question of my own: i was recently added to multiple Teams channels and found myself receiving desktop notifications (some of them playing sounds) not only when i receive a chat message from a colleague but when someone joins the channel and so forth. Any ideas on how i can turn off desktop messages in Teams or at least minimize the ongoing amount of notifications?

Thanks Dorothy for your message. When joining a new collaboration platform, it’s helpful to balance between being up to date and staying productive and focused. In this quick tutorial we would like to help our readers to define their notification settings in Microsoft Teams, so they fit their preferences and help them stay productive. You might want to experiment with your Teams notifications as needed, as you can always revert back to the original alert settings.

Here’s how to hide banner desktop alerts in Teams:

  • Open Microsoft Teams desktop or web client.
  • Hit your user icon, located in the right hands side of your upper Teams bar.
  • Then hit Settings.
  • From the left hands side of your Settings dialog, select Notifications.
  • Then hit the Custom button.
  • Now go ahead and set your custom alert settings for Messages (incl Chat), people mentioning you in a personal / private chat or channels, information posted into your Teams feed
  • Note that for each setting you can typically choose from these options: Be notified by Banner and Email, by Banner only or not at all.
  • As an example, here are the settings i use to minimize pop up banner messaging from Teams:
  • Next, use the Edit button in the Meetings and People sections, to control meeting reminders alerts and follow other people appearance status (if needed).

Why Is My Sound Off

If you are using an older Team version, the dialog looks a bit different; so you’ll need to disable sounds a bit differently:

Turning off messages when in a meeting

A couple of folks asked whether there is a possibility to hide notifications from Teams during certain periods, say during important meetings.

There is still no perfect solution for that, but a couple of workarounds,

How

Method 1:

A very much required setting is now available to suppress message previews. This is a powerful feature that works on the different clients you might be using (Desktop, ioS, Android etc’).

  • Hit your Teams avatar.
  • Then hit Settings.
  • Then hit Notifications.
  • Deactivate the Show message preview by sliding the button to the left (as shown above).

Method 2:

Turn Off All Sounds

Turn Off Audio

Set your status in Teams to Do Not Disturb, and that will suppress notifications that are not urgent or coming from your priority contacts.

You can set your status to DRD either by clicking your teams Avatar and then set the status; or simply by typing /drd in the upper panel search bar.

In case of any question, feel free to leave us a comment. In the meantime, enjoy Teams 😉
